I never owned an Amiga, so I didn't see that game - but the fact that it had a "piece of Braben" in it speaks in its favour. I did enjoy Battle Chess. But agreed - Eilte certainly takes the crown for devouring hours (and hours, and hours, and hours, and... etc.)

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)

I'll simply mention Deus Ex Machina on the C64. If you played it, you will not forget it.

P.S. Not the tech demo by the same name, the actual game.

In a far more arcadey vein than any of the preceding: anyone remember Paradroid?
